“ I drove a pretty solid distance to try the highly regarded house made chalupas, and it was very worth the visit. The atmosphere was very casual. I was glad to have brought my own reusable water bottle with me. The horchata was delicious. I look forward to coming back someday, and suggest you stop the next time you're passing through STK ”
“ Really stupid good, unassuming roadside chicken, rice, beans, and tortillas. Easy to pass by on the road, if you have not been here, you need to try it. As close to Mexico as you can get ”
“ Favorite restaurant to eat at in Modesto. My daughter loves the quail with Diablo sauce since she was 4 years old she's 7 now. Ice cold beer and drinks ”
“ Good little spot on Crows Landing. 3 chicken tacos with onions and cilantro on the side. Served with tomatillo sauce, line and radish. Grilled tortillas filled with drilled chicken! The chicken is cooked outside on the outdoor wood fired grills, very tasty! I added in the Diablo Sauce on the side as they had a whole menu section dedicated to this sauce. It had some kick, but very tasty! Highly recommend. I will be going back. #spicemeister approved! ”
